What Reddit owners say
3/5 Synthetic / harshUnique“Club de nuit iconic is genuinely one of those where patience pays off more than almost any other fragrance I've tried.”
3/5 SweetnessBatches & reformulation“I have tried a decant of CDN Iconic and just can't like it due to the cloying element to my nose.”
2/5“If you are not in love with CDN Iconic check out other DNAs, I was once a BDC EDP only guy. I have not tried it, but tbh I've never put my nose to an Armaf fragrance that I liked.”
3/5 LongevityBatches & reformulation“I know i'm a bit late to this. But would you tell me the production date for your unit? With M.E. perfumes, the batch can make a night and day difference. I bought CDN Iconic recently, it's a 2024 batch and performance is horrible. Not anything like a lot of the reviews saying it has great performance.”
3/5 Synthetic / harsh“I find the CDN Iconic to be a bit harsh in the opening but settles nice with it being compared to Chanel Bleu edp, but the Iconic Extrait is much smoother in the opening and immediately comes across higher quality. Still a imitation of Chanel Bleu but more towards the Perfum. I got a decant of both, had them side by side and hands down the Extrait is way better in my opinion.”

Not rated (no clear sentiment) Compliments“The only time I received a compliment from a stranger was at Costco in the freezer and I was wearing club de nuit Iconic it was another dude.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Value“Idk if this would fit into your budget but CDN Iconic is the closest to BDC of all I have ever tried and it's nuclear in performance too. Got it for \~3500 from Armaf website and been waiting to ordered 2nd bottle but it's OOS”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I own cdn iconic and have tested it against both bdc edp and parfum. Iconic is closer to the edp.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I don't have a collection at all, CDN Iconic was the second ME perfume I bought and it was definitely a defective one. I checked the product, qr code and everything. It was authentic. So in my small sample size of 02, 50% is defective😄.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Nitro Elixir x 3 Rayhaan Obsidian x2 Rayhaan Lion x 2 CDN Iconic x3 Zimaya Itqun x 3 9pm Elixir x 2 These are the ones I bought multiple times from just over a year. These all are on my permit rotation.”
